As previously reported, Project Veritas released an undercover video Monday of Washington Post National Security Correspondent Dan Lamothe who admitted to the paper’s anti-Trump agenda.
Evidently, covering Trump the way they do is good business, even though it’s fake news, says O’Keefe.
Lamothe finally responded to the media frenzy after his Twitter mentions were blowing up. He responded to O’Keefe in a tweetstorm claiming he was likely recorded months ago without knowing.
Dan Lamothe tweeted, “I just landed at BWI to my mentions blowing up due to a video. It was likely recorded months ago, and obviously without my knowledge.” 1/

The beauty of working at a place like The Post is the mission comes first. And — surprise, surprise — everyone doesn’t always agree. /4

This does unleash a “secret,” I suppose: My own politics are hard to pin down, and don’t fit in a box for either party. Story come first. /5

I’ve been to at least 12 countries and the Arctic Ocean this year chasing news for The Post, and I’m grateful for those opportunities. /6

Thanks to all who have sent notes of support. I’m fine. Been through worse. Just something for all of us in this business to remember. 7/7
